Now that Jessie is out, is Wheezy going to become Oldstable? Or is it simply going to be dropped?
It doesn't matter to me (I run Sid) but I'm curious. I believe the whole Oldstable idea began with Squeeze as an experiment when Wheezy was released? so perhaps oldstable as a release will be dropped. Or not. :)

Yes, it already is.

It will probably go to LTS so it will continue to be supported for some time yet.

Yep. Microsoft loves it. Have you taken a look at the wont-fix items in the bugtracker recently?

Judging by the lacklustre response to the official Debian Twitter page tweets about Jessie last night (I know Twitter well, I have 2 accounts), let's all give a big empty yawn for the bastardized redheaded stepchild that is systemd Jessie. The poor girl, she's so cute too, I feel sorry for her, having her name dragged through the systemd mud. :shock: :lol: :twisted: :P
